Can 2000 KX500 suspension be revalved to be pretty good?

I don't know anything about RG3, I've heard good things about them...I've been using Factory Connection since the fall of 1995...and I have a little experience with Race Tech...all positive.

It definitely wasn't them.  lol  It was a yahoo over from a different forum.  I'd been toying around with getting something like a newer fuel injected WR450, but don't want to spend the $$$.  My bike, although older, is so fresh that I feel like I'd be crazy to get rid of it.  I think I'll try out the suspension revalve and see how it feels.  I'm probably about 70/30 track to trails/desert, and although riding my bike in the desert and on trails is a no-brainer, not so sure about a WR450 on the mx track.

I love this thing, and even if I got another bike, would just keep it as a second bike.

I think you'll be very happy with it after a revalve.
I keep my 250 as a back-up ride...not that it's all that much fun to ride after being on a 500 as my primary ride...but it's better than nothing to ride!

Agreed.  I just called them for an estimate on a revalve and setting it up for my weight, and may try to get it done this month.  Can't wait to see how it feels.
